Growl Notify not working - Here's a new tip
For those mac users who have not encountered Growl. It is a notification app which let apps display notifications to you, like if you have a new mail, it will open a little box on the corner of the screen showing the contents of an email, or if you are downloading a document with FileZilla it will display a notification to you when it has downloaded. Its the first 3rd party app that gets installed on my mac when I re-image it. It was free, but now they have put it up on the Mac App Store with a cost of 69p
One annoyance though with the new version is that GrownTunes doesn't work anymore. It used to pop up a notification with the latest song information on it. But don't worry, there is now a little 'tweek' in OSX Lion that lets you add notification into the dock. This only works on OS X 10.7 Lion.
Open Terminal and type the following statements
- defaults write com.apple.dock itunes-notifications -bool TRUE (press enter)
- defaults write com.apple.dock notification-always-show-image -bool TRUE (press enter)
- killall Dock (press enter)
Simple. Everytime iTunes changes songs now, you'll get a little notification over your itunes dock icon with details of the song. I can't take credit for this discovery though, I found it at macosxhints.com.
